Photography

Below is the link for the photography work we did within class.

Keeksy's Coursework Blog: Photo shoot with keiran Froom and will Walters:

I have also deconstructed some professional photography of my chosen music artist. In my case it is Keith Flint who is the lead singer of The Prodigy.

This Photo is a medium shot as it show him from his waiste up.
In this photo, he is giving the audience a direct mode of address.The clothing he is wearing partner his image, he looks very grungey- there isn't a chance any of his clothes would be designer. Yet there could be some juxtaposition with the representation of the American Flag being freedom yet the sadness withing his eyes could be representing him being trapped and wanting to be free. The lighting used is coming from the right hand side of this medium close up. It is effective as it casts dark shadows on the wall behind him and casts the right hand side of his face into darkness giving an essence of mystery. The image seems to be set in an underground location (this is judging by the shape of the cieling behind him). This may be significant as it could be the same underground place where their hit single Firestarter was recorded.The expression on his face is one of great seriousness. He could be described as looking midly depressed. The eyeliner around his eyes really makes it feel as if he's looking into you which may be thee effect that was intended. His body language seems very stiff and rugged which could make us believe he is tense or angry. He also has many facial piercing's which is stereotypical of the punk look Keith Flint is going for. the setting around him seems very bland and dull, which draws the focus to Keith Flint as we are not distracted by anything else.

Above is a magazine front cover featuring my chosen artist from my chosen music genre. Again it feature Keith Flint. This may be a somewhat plain cover yet it does have a few steriotypical elements of an electronica article. There is a promotion of 'The top 50 clubs in Britain'. This is significant as clubs are famed for playing electronica music to the masses. This is why Keith Flint appears on the cover as The Prodigy's Electronica music will feautre in these clubs. There is an above angle shot used which shows the whole profile of his body on the photograph. There is also specific focus on his face which has an aggressive wild expression. This relates to their music which can be described as the same. He is dressed wildly and combined with his piercings and his hair, this creates a wild look wich is perfect for this music genre.
